Aint No Characters Anymore

Hi Bill,

This is a song I wrote about Blantyre about 9/10 years ago, of all my great memories from the past and the great people from yesteryear, use it if you wish. I was born and bred in the Orlettes in Ivy Place, mum stayed there until she passed away in July 2005, the times we had will always be with me…

Born in the Orlettes among the guid folk,
when aw the punters could take a wee joke.
O’er tae McVeys tae huv a beer,
walkin hame there was nae fear,
but now they say that life’s a bore,
there aint no characters anymore.
